Dàn bài Part 2
Ý tưởng bài mẫu (tiếng Việt)
-- Đề bài Describe a quiet place yêu cầu thí sinh miêu tả một địa điểm có thể là 1 nơi thu hút nhiều khách du lịch nhưng cần nhấn mạnh vào yếu tố yên tĩnh của nơi đó. Khi trả lời câu hỏi, thí sinh nên miêu tả:
Thời điểm bạn đến thăm chỗ đó là khi nào
Nơi đấy là ở đâu?
Bạn làm gì ở nơi đó
Giải thích tại sao bạn thích đến nơi này
-- Đề bài thuộc chủ đề lớn là để miêu tả a building hoặc describe a tourist destination. Để xử lý đề bài Describe a quiet place, cách dễ dàng và hiệu quả nhất là bám sát những gì mà cue (gợi ý) mà đề bài đưa ra và cung cấp thông tin cụ thể, chi tiết nhất có thể và hạn chế nói chung chung. Nhưng để không đi lạc hướng thì thí sinh cần chú ý đến miêu tả về sự yên tĩnh của nơi này.
-- Với câu hỏi nơi đấy ở đâu, đây là nơi bạn mong muốn đến để tìm thấy sự yên tĩnh. Nếu thí sinh sa đà vào miêu tả về 1 nơi thu hút được đông du khách như Đà Nẵng, Hội An mà không đề cập đến yếu tố yên tĩnh thì thí sinh dễ bị mất điểm cho tiêu chí Fluency and coherence.
-- Với câu hỏi về thời điểm bạn đến thăm chỗ đó là khi nào, hãy đơn giản chọn ra bất kì một thời điểm nào đó trong năm (một mùa nào đó hoặc khoảng thời gian nào đó của năm) hoặc một dịp đặc biệt nào đó và nghĩ đến người đi cùng (gia đình, bạn bè,…) hoặc thậm chí có thể chọn đi một mình.
-- Trong câu hỏi thứ ba bạn làm gì ở đó, bạn có thể miêu tả các hoạt động mà bất kì người nào đến đó thường làm.
-- Câu hỏi cuối cùng, giải thích tại sao bạn thích nơi này, thường được coi là phần quan trọng nhất của bài Describe a quiet place. Các bạn có thể dành một phần lớn bài nói để đưa ra cảm nhận về địa điểm hoặc những trải nghiệm đã có ở đó. Thí sinh cũng có thể lồng ghép những cảm nhận của mình trong mỗi phần trả lời cho các câu hỏi phía trên, miễn là thực hiện được mục tiêu chính sử dụng được các từ vựng miêu tả cảm xúc và cảm nhận về một địa điểm nào đó.

Sample Speaking:
Today I’d like to tell you about Hoi An, where I went to grieve my mother’s passing. I got to say that it’s the best place to feel great comfort in the peace it provides where I can listen to my inner voice.
Exactly five months, I badly needed a place to escape and clear my head after months of helping my mother fight cancer, and we lost. Hoi An was the closest place where I could simply hop on the plane, and two hours later, I could be there. So I simply packed my back, booked a ticket, and left Hanoi with a heavy heart.
Hoi An greeted me with hospitable people and tranquility. I was lucky to go there during off-peak season, so it was less crowded than the last time I went there with friends. It was just what I needed. I aimlessly strolled around the ancient streets and cycled through the countryside alone. I experienced rural Vietnamese living firsthand and saw a lot of lush vegetable gardens, and vast duck ponds.
After Covid, the place was deserted. I talked to local farmers about the pandemic, its effects, and other things in life too. I slowly realized maybe all suffering would eventually end. My mother’s now free from pain and any hardship that we experienced.
I didn’t know how but two weeks in Hoi An had this healing power that I didn’t know existed. Maybe because the slow pace of life there helps me think clearly, talking to local farmers about life generally, or being close to nature eases my sorrow. So if anyone asks me for a place to clear one’s head, Hoi An is one of the options I would strongly recommend.

Sample band 7.5
It is important to spend time in quiet places in the fast-paced life of today. There are a few quiet places around us that we can visit for a few relaxing moments of peace. I would like to talk about a park where I go quite often and I find great comfort in the silence the spot has to offer.
The park is not far from my home. It is only a 10-minute walk from my home. It is well-known for its peaceful ambiance. Being a nature lover, every day I visit this garden. The place is full of natural vegetation and exotic flowers, which fascinates me to spend some time in the lap of nature. I am delighted that I have a gorgeous park in my locality, and I also contribute to plant more trees there to maintain the beauty of this park.
People in my city are generally indolent. They don’t get up early, so the park is free from noise in the morning. Every morning I go for a morning walk in the garden and I remain energetic the whole day. I also do some physical activities and as I am having an ardent habit of writing, the area somehow enhances my creativity to the point where thoughts flow freely and clearly in my mind. I really like going to this location with my writing pad all alone, and writing whatever I feel like for hours on end.
In addition, the park contains some other amenities like clean and well-managed toilets, and the space for kids is also notable. A large number of trees are available in the park and anyone can take shelter under the tree shades with nice sitting arrangements. Therefore, I would recommend anyone from my area to have some quality and tranquil time in this park. There is a lot to explore and enjoy.
Câu trả lời mẫu IELTS Speaking Part 3: Quiet places
Why do you think the countryside is quieter than the city?
It is because in the countryside, you can find yourself away from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are no traffic jams, noise or mass pollution. Thus, life in the countryside is peaceful, calm and tranquil. Cities are overcrowded with people, vehicles and buildings whereas the countryside has a picturesque setting with greenery, farmlands, hills and forests.
What about places like cafes, parks or libraries? Are they quiet places?
I am not sure about cafes and parks, but I think libraries are quiet because most people go there to get lost in the world of books, to form an imaginary world on the topic they are reading about and to shut out all the extra thoughts in the deep silence.
Are homes noisier than they were in the past?
I believe so due to traffic, factories and construction sites. With the increase in the number of vehicles, traffic congestion in big cities has become more severe and the growl of engines is growing. Honking drivers only adds to the problem, while loud music from bars, restaurants and stores is also disruptive.
Why do old people like quiet places compared to young people?
Old people might go to quiet places to get peace of mind and escape from the hustle-bustle of city life, and some like to go to quiet places to enjoy their vacations in the lap of nature because they love greenery.
Is it hard to find quiet places in cities?
I don’t think it’s that difficult when you look close enough. You can pretty much find tranquility everywhere you go. The majority of people would think that since the cities are full of crowds so it’s loud and noisy, but I beg to differ. In early morning, it’s quite peaceful when a person strolls in the parks or go to temples. The key is to find a perfect time slot to visit such places. And yet, look no further, home is the place anyone can go to to find silent at some point.
Why do people like to spend time in quiet places?
Quietness helps people find peace of mind and boost concentration. These should lead to better job performance, and significantly reduce stress, all of which have positive effects on productivity. People can actually reflect and analyse situations in quiet areas. Hardly can you think clearly in noisy places.
- peace of mind (phrase): tĩnh tâm
- productivity (noun): năng suất
- reflect (verb): suy ngâm
- analyse (verb): phân tích
